Hi guys, could you tell us (my nephew and I) which FMF pipe/silencer (spark arrested type) works best for "down and dirty trail work". Hill climbing, NASTY tight trail work, mud, roots and stump jumpin is what we ride!!
Also, if anyone has a BETTER setup (then FMF) feel free to chime in!
Thanks
Woodsy

kx_693,

Hi I’m the Chicken nephew. I just wondered when you say the FMF Gnarly do you mean the Gnarly Rev or the Gnarly Woods (Torque). From what I have read it seams that the Gnarly Woods will be best suited for my kind of riding, but it is only what I have read so any real life experience is very much appreciated.

Get the Gnarly woods/torque pipe for more bottom end and the rev pipe for more top end. From what you are saying, the Gnarly Torque pipe sounds like a perfect fit. If you want a spark arrestor silencer to go with the pipe, get the FMF turbine core. You will be pleased!

The Fmf profile for improved low-end for either/both 'H' model kdxs is the -35 (torque).

A deltaforceII reed setup to low tension is a likewise large improvement.

I called the factory myself the other day to ask about a pipe also, the version you want for the 97 for what you ride is a Gnarly woods pipe, the other one they make for it is called a Gnarly dessert pipe. Basicialy a rev but they keep changing names for it for some reason.
Do not go with a pro circuit pipe because the pro circuit is their version of a rev pipe. not what you want for the woods and tight trails.
I have a rev on mime right now and it hits at 5500 to 6500 with a turbine core II silencer. I too am going with a Gnarly woods pipe as soon as I find the best deal on one.

Wrong!!! A FmF rev pipe and the pro circut pipe are not the same thing. The rev pipe increases the top end and the ProCircut pipe increases over the whole powerband from bottom to top.

Besides, Kawasaki swears by ProCicircut and they test all there bikes on no other then ProCircut. Kawasaki and ProCircut go hand in hand and have been doing it for many years.. Make no mistakes my friend,, FMF is just as good. It really depends on how you ride as a rider. It also matters on where you ride but i ride in lots of different terrain so i cant have 2 pipes thats why the Procircut is better in this situation. Then figure out, Are u a poker(smooth) or are u a pinner(out of control)? And then figure out from there which fits you the best. If your a poker, then get the woods pipe. If your a pinner then you have 2 options, A FMF rev pipe or a ProCircut pipe. ProCircut has won more championships then FMF ever will in many different types of racing and thats a fact..
